Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue
A type of tissue that forms boundaries in the body, such as the skin and lining of organs. It's characterized by its layered structure and the shape of its cells.
Connective tissue
Connective tissue
A type of tissue that provides support, protection, and binding in the body. It's made up of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix of gels and fibers. Examples include bone, blood, and fat.
Neural tissue
Neural tissue
A type of tissue that is responsible for communication in the body. It's made up of neurons and supporting cells, transmitting signals through the nervous system.

Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology Terms
- Tissues are groups of cells with similar structures and functions.
- Epithelial tissue forms boundaries and covers the body. It's categorized by the number of cell layers and cell shapes.
- Connective tissue supports, protects, and binds. It's made of fibers and gels. Examples include bone and blood.
- Neural tissue facilitates communication. Neurons and supporting cells transmit signals.
- Muscle tissue controls movement, including smooth muscle lining organs.
Axial Skeleton
- The axial skeleton includes bones like the clavicle, ribs, sternum, and vertebral column sections (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal).
Anatomical Position
- Anatomical position: Upright, facing forward, feet shoulder-width apart, palms forward.
- Medial/Lateral refers to relative positions, e.g., nose is medial to the eyes.
- Sagittal plane is a vertical cut dividing body in half.
Planes of the Body
- Planes of the body are imaginary or real cuts through the body (based in anatomical position) including medial, lateral, sagittal, coronal, and transverse.
Respiratory System (Upper)
- The nasal cavity warms, humidifies, and filters inhaled air with cilia and mucosa.
- Nasal conchae in the cavity increase the turbulence for filtering.
- The oral cavity is an alternate route for airflow during heavy breathing.
- The pharynx connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx, and includes the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
- The pharynx plays a role in voice resonance.
Respiratory System (Lower)
- The trachea, often called the windpipe, is supported by C-shaped cartilage rings.
- The trachea branches into two bronchi.
- The bronchi branch into smaller bronchioles.
- Bronchioles end in alveoli for gas exchange.
- Alveoli are tiny balloon-like structures where gas exchange happens.
Skeletal Framework of Respiration
- Vertebral column: Composed of vertebrae (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal) and provides support.
- Ribcage: Made of ribs, sternum, and cartilage. Protects organs. Provides space and structure for respiration, as they expand during breathing.
- Shoulder (pectoral) girdle: Important connection point for muscles involved in inhaling.
- Pelvic girdle: Supports abdominal and lower back muscles involved in respiration.
Lungs
- The right lung is divided into three lobes; left into two.
- Lobes are separated by fissures (grooves).
- Function of lungs is in gaseous exchange and maintaining lung function.
Passive and Active Forces of Respiration
- Passive forces (in relaxed breathing): recoil of tissues, and gravity.
- Active forces (in forceful breathing): involve muscle contractions like the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, adjusting lung volume/pressure.
Neural Control of Tidal Breathing
- Brainstem, specifically the medulla, controls automatic, basic breathing patterns.
Posture and Body Position
- Posture and position affect respiratory efficiency. Different positions demand varying muscular support.
- Upright position: diaphragm and rib cage expand easily.
- Lying down: Expands rib cage with more work.
Aging and Respiration
- Lung capacity and function can decrease with age: alveoli, diaphragm strength.
- Aging also affects nerve sensitivity and the ribcage structure which affects respiration and consequently speech.
